Bright summer evenings in Whitehorse on film

Kayla got me a film camera for my birthday not long before our move up to the Yukon. Unfortunately, I can sometimes have a bit of a scarcity mindset when it comes to these things. Because of that, I’ve often put off using it. Not to mention, there’s nowhere in Whitehorse to have film processed. With a friend visiting with cameras of his own and offering to bring back some with him, I got over that.

The upcoming posts from our Dawson trip will include more, but here are some photos from some August evenings in Whitehorse.

The Yukon Theatre with its retro styling is a great subject.

The Murdoch’s sign is super interesting, and yet another retro-styled sign that beams on film.

This gorgeous old car was begging to be a subject.

a sign on the ground with a tiny hand-dug ditch. It reads:
This plaque is to honour the many unseen and often underappreciated works of civic duty that surround us daily. Local activist L.R. (P.Eng.) dug this wee ditch to help drain a persistent puddle on this path. No longer will we have to suffer wet feet while walking. -2026-
Walking along the footpath, we noticed this little sign. I love this kind of mischief for public good

The sun was bright looking back along the old rail line. While the sky is slightly washed out, I find the colour intriguing.
